Greybeard:
What a bummer .... :cry:  :cry:  Sorry to hear bad news. I have just rebuilt mine with new heads after suffering exactly the same syptoms but my head gaskets were ok. Not sure it has cured the misfire when hot yet tho. Will know better when i have had a chance to run it for a while. Just having the sills replaced now for mot.
Hope you manage to sort it out without too much expense.
